The Hu has announced Hun, the Mongolian heavy rock band’s third studio album, due July 24 via Better Noise Music. The album is preceded by new single “Lost Soul,” which features Jonny Hawkins, vocalist of Nothing More. The Hawkins-featuring version is available digitally.
Morin khuur player and throat singer Galaa said: “‘Lost Soul’ is about finding your way back when everything feels lost. We all go through moments where we question everything — our purpose, our path, our identity. This song is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, the human spirit has the capacity to rise again.”
Hawkins added: “When The Hu reached out to collaborate, I was immediately drawn to the power and depth of what they do. There’s something primal and universal about their music that transcends language and culture. Being part of ‘Lost Soul’ was a profound experience.”

The Hu is currently on a North American tour with Apocalyptica and The Rasmus, running through June 7 in Anaheim, Calif. The band appeared on “Pray to the Sun,” a track by composer Declan de Barra included in the Netflix series One Piece, and contributed “Sugaan Essena” to the soundtrack of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In November 2022, they became the first rock or metal band to receive the UNESCO “Artist for Peace” designation, presented by UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay at a ceremony at UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
